Now if you were using light weight aluminum racing LCAs I wouldn't lift from them, but the factory ones should hold just fine.
That is incorrect. The weight goes from the strut, to the knuckle, to the wheel bearing, to the wheel to the ground. The LCA is there for alignment and to keep the wheel in place. It's a hollow control arm.
